Premium by name, premium by nature. The Short Stay Premium is the closest car park to the terminal making it the perfect choice for an ultra slick Stansted airport parking experience.

At Short Stay Premium simply park up, keep hold of your keys and head straight to check-in - you'll be there in 1-4 minutes. As an official Stansted airport car park you can expect top notch security for your car including CCTV, entry and exit barriers and regular staff patrols.

Reasons to book S

  • Short and sweet- simply park up, lock up and walk the short distance to the terminal.
  • Regularly patrolled and protected by entry and exit barriers, a fence and lighting.
  • An official on-airport car park.
  • There are no transfer buses.

Arrival at S

Go to the Red Zone car park and drive to the barrier. Your number plate should be automatically recognised, but if not press the assistance button and speak to a member of the team.

Once the barrier has risen, drive through and park in any space. Make a note of the zone and row, keep your keys, then take the short walk to the terminal.

Getting to and from Stansted airport

Arriving at the car park

Drive to the barrier, which will recognise your number plate and lift automatically. You can park in any space and keep your keys while you're away.

Then walk to the terminal in 3 minutes.

Returning to the car park

After collecting your luggage, walk back to the car park to collect your car. The barrier will lift automatically when you approach it, but if there are any issues press the intercom button for assistance.

On your return to S

Drive up to the exit barrier. If your number plate was recognised on the way in, the barrier will rise automatically on your way out. If you were issued a ticket on your arrival, insert it into the machine next to the barrier, which will raise to let you out.

If you have any problems, press the help button to talk to the car park's team. Do not insert your credit or debit card as you may be charged again.

More information

We recommend removing any hand sanitiser from your car while you're away - during hot weather it can become flammable.

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period of 6 hours at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £62 per day, which is subject to change.

Help us go green! There's no need to print out your booking confirmation, just show it on your mobile device.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).

Short stay parking at Stansted, easy to find and perfect for short break , walk to terminal 2/3 minuites. Plenty of spaces when we arrived . Hassle free .

Ms Jordan (Stansted Short Stay Premium)

The barrier did not lift. The guy was helpful on the intercom. He said I wasn’t on ‘both systems’ so he found my booking eventually and let me thro. I had to do same in my return. Please resolve this as this makes it stressful and delays you when this supposed to be a smooth process

Ms Jewell (Stansted Short Stay Premium)

A very efficient parking facility close to the airport terminal - would elect to use the parking system upon every visit to the airport

Mr Lee (Stansted Short Stay Premium)

Red car park barrier didn't open, had to contact help centre. Eventually found booking and opened up.
On return again had to contact help centre to open up. Seems some confusion over a change to my booking, probably when I changed cars back in May.

Mr Maton (Stansted Short Stay Premium)

Arrived at Red zone but barrier did not lift. Called service and eventually got in but no ticket. Only spaces available at furthest point from terminal.
On return again barrier refused to lift, so called service. Seems confusion over booking as car reg changed (back in Appril when I changed car).
This us second problem with Holiday Extras car parking. Back in May I changed time to allow for security delays. Holiday Extras cancelled my Escape Lounge booking wirh no explation but refunded payment payment.
Not happy on both counts!!!
